Description

I have a local version where the shadowing of ASM is done by Gradle to easier maintain the ASM copy in the future.

I'll create a PR with the changes on Github.

The copied version had a single change to the ASM sources (in order to access the static package protected method

AnnotationNode.accept

.

I did a quick hack with reflection to access it instead, there is definitely room for improvement there, if anyone wants to take a stab at it.
